Please prayer for my son and our family. He almost died in a house fire one year ago in Jacksonville and has not been the same since. He was renting a home that had old, faulty wiring (he didn't know) and the fire started in the walls and had it not been for his dogs waking him up, he would have died from smoke inhalation.Since that time, I have been helping support him and I am nearly broke. He works for UPS but has had such severe depression that it just breaks my heart. I want to see him get some joy out of life again.

I know that my family's problems pale in comparision to others and we are so grateful he is alive, but it's just my daughter, Adam, and me and I feel like my heart will break from worry.

Any prayers you send our way will be so appreciated. I will do the same for you. Prayer has to work because all the doctors in the world aren't helping. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A very scared monkey

Tracy you are all in my prayers.

There is a Dr. at Lake of The Ozarks. Her name is Dr. Jean GilstrapHer phone number is 573-302-4414Her email address is omhs@charter.net

Call or email and ask for a reference in your area.

She is an amazing Dr. , and has saved my dear husband from the depths of depression. She was the only one out of many who knew how to treat him. Call her and tell her that Mike C. from Festus Missouri reccommended that you call for a referral to your area.

echos ~ your niece Karlie will be included in my prayers tonight. Her story seems similar to another child, Courtney Black. I had neighbors in Katy, Texas some years ago and their daughter Courtney had Rett's Syndrome. Her daddy was country singer Kevin Black, her uncle was Clint Black. Courtney lived to the age of 16 years, a very long time for a child with Rett Syndrome. Her mother decorated Courtney's room in yellow and white, cheerful colors, and bought her a little yellow parakeet. Courtney was well cared for,and the family did receive some help through medicaid, but there was so much it didn't cover, especially when there were cutbacks. Her father got involved in trying to help others.

WASHINGTON, March 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Parents and children with Rett syndrome, including country music artist Kevin Black (brother of Clint Black), made the rounds on Capitol Hill today to lobby their representatives and testify before Congress about the urgent need for more research on this debilitating neurological disorder that affects young girls between the ages of six and eighteen months. The International Rett Syndrome Association (IRSA) is asking Congress for critical funding for research on Rett syndrome and related disorders in the FY2007 budget.

Kevin's daughter, Cortney, began her life as a typical child - normal birth and delivery, healthy and alert. She smiled often and took eager interest in her surroundings. But just about the time of her first birthday, Cortney began to change. She became withdrawn and irritable, cried often and could not be consoled. Soon, she lost speech and could no longer hold her bottle or play with toys. Kevin and his wife, Trish, began a bewildering and frustrating journey trying to find out what had happened to their beautiful baby daughter. When they finally learned the diagnosis of Rett syndrome, a rare, little known neurological disorder, they were shattered. The family struggle to meet the many challenges of Rett syndrome, yet their love for Cortney was greater. Sadly, in 2002, Cortney lost her battle with Rett syndrome at the age of 16.http://www.rettsyndrome.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=320&Itemid=

I've been staring at this page for more than an hour. I need a prayer and forgot how to ask. Forgot how to explain. Feel unworthy.

I pray that Jesus will wrap you in his arms and let you feel safe and warm. I pray that God will infuse you with his love and that you will know that He loves you for all you are. He made you and loves you. You don't need to know how to pray, dear. You just need to want to. God hears your inner heart and soul. Take some quiet time and feel His power. I will keep you in my prayers. With love...lots of it.

She'll find out who to send your son to.

Thankyou so much from the bottom of my heart. I just read this but will call her today. You are such a blessing I feel like God sent you to my son. Thanking you doesn't begin to express the grateullness I am feeling right now. Love to you and yours.Tracy

I'm asking for God to hold Louise in His caring Hands and for her to feel His safety and guidance. I'm asking that God lighten Tracy's burdens of worry and finance as He lightens the burden of trauma on her son, and helps him find his purpose in life of joy and security.

May I please ask all to pray for Peaches? For those who don't know her, Peaches is a much loved monkey who is suffering with cancer. She's a fighter and an inspiration. This last treatment has slowed her down more than any prior treatments I remember.

God Bless all in need here.

I will keekp Peaches in my prayers. I pray that her cancer will be cured and that God will show his mercy on you and your family. Thank you so much for remembering my family in your prayers. God surely hears our inner hearts. God Bless Peaches.

Everyone I learned tonight a monkey who is a key contributor to this forum, beloved by many, is having a biopsy in early January. Please keep her in your prayers for a good outcome, she will have to endure xmas with this reality and I think so much of her and love her dearly - so please help me pray for her to be healthy and this to be only a false alarm.

I just found out that my Mom has died. I'd really appreciate your prayers. I've known it was coming, but I really expected her to have another Christmas with us.My daughter just had surgery Monday, so I'm spread very thin right now and I'm still trying to process the news. And it's Christmas time.I do need some prayers to get through the next few days.

Sorry~meant to post this. Michael Crawford has this on this on his album and it is beautiful:

ON EAGLE'S WINGSMichael Joncas

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,who abide in His shadow for life,say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eaglesí wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,and famine will bring you no fear:under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eaglesí wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,nor the arrow that flies by day;though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eaglesí wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a commandto guard you in all of your ways;upon their hands they will bear you up,lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eaglesí wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.
